      Basically, everything The Heritage Foundation has been pushing for for decades is lined up to happen via a reclassification of federal positions and an internal purge of the executive bureaucracy. They have a shortlist of thousands of people ready to be appointed and start working on their agenda. Just really shifting into overdrive on the fascist rhetoric and policy.

        Basically, Trump didn’t accomplish anything in his first term because he doesn’t know how government works, he didn’t know who to hire, and he’s personally difficult to work with. So the Federalist Society and a bunch of other chud think tanks wrote it all down as a step by step list for him.

        It really sounds like the liberals realized to some extent that the Republicans actually mean to wield power and will use elected office to entrench power so the next time They Win they’re gonna do A Bunch of That but instead of like also doing that to fuck them out of power while the democrats are in office they’re doing nothing but telling you we gotta VOTE to stop it. Which means EVERY ELECTION is gonna be like this UNTIL WE’RE DEAD because this project 2025 shit is literally just “what the republicans are gonna do next time they’re in power”

          It set off my liberal conspiracy alarm and I ignored it. My guess was that it’d be some technocratic fantasy about Trump doing the same thing either party has been shown to do. I couldn’t imagine voting for either of these creeps let alone carrying water for them. Inhad this game figured out at age 9 when the 2000 election happened. It’s not hard to figure out if you operate within the easily achievable framework that it’s all bullshit

        The Project 2025 document outlines four main aims: restore the family as the centrepiece of American life; dismantle the administrative state; defend the nation’s sovereignty and borders; and secure God-given individual rights to live freely.

        Lots of whistles and notably it also plans to end sustainable energy funding and go all-in on gas and coal, and end diversity laws to make it much easier to discriminate against people.

      I’ve read a little about Project 2025 (I don’t follow this stuff closely) and it seems bad. But how realistic is it? Aren’t there always frimge groups with bad/extremist ideas?
